has just turned up in a neighboring
town. He visited all the stores in
succession and begged cake OF

putting in day at this, he held an
auction at night, and disposed of his

results, being a neat sum, were
enough to keep him in Injuries for
some time.

AN accident occurred on the B. &
o. at Washington, on Wednesday,
in which engineer S. Hamilton Bro
sius. of Baltimore, well known here,
was killed, some twenty people
wounded, and several passenger cars
demolished. The air brakes failed
to work and the engineer could not
stop the train, which sweep into the
"Y" at a speed Of so miles an hour,
left the track and ran across the
street into house and signal tower,
bringing them down with crash.
The Washington authorities have
made it criminal offense to run
train into the city at greater speed
than Il miles an hour.
